ALLERGIES & CHIROPRACTICE Allergies happen when the immune system does not do its job properly. With a healthy immune system, the body can distinguish between it’s own cells and foreign cells or objects. When, for any reason, the immune system is compromised, the body mistakes some of it’s own cells for foreign objects and attacks them. This is how most allergies start. The immune system of human body is directly controlled by its nervous system. Misalignment of the vertebrae inserts undue pressure on the nerves that pass through them. The pressure reduces functionality of the nerves. Regular Chiropractic adjustment of the vertebrae returns them to their natural positions, removes the pressure from the nervous system, and allows the nervous system to function at its fullest potential. A responsive nervous system will ensure full engagement of the immune system. That is how many allergies are relieved or reduced by regular chiropractic care. Notably, misalignment of the spine, because of the daily stresses, is a daily event. Therefore, to enjoy long term relief from most symptoms, the spine needs to be checked regularly. A recent research study examined the effect of chiropractic adjustments on patients with allergy symptoms. It was observed that most of the allergy suffering participants also had misalignments in their upper and middle back. Patients, who received chiropractic adjustments, showed significant decrease in their symptoms. Those who had similar symptoms and were not adjusted, did not show any improvement.
